The 1031 Exchange Program allows investors to defer capital gains taxes due upon the sale of an investment property by reinvesting the proceeds into another property.Biden’s policy proposal, entitled “The Biden Plan for Mobilizing American Talent and Heart to Create a 21st Century Caregiving and Education Workforce,” states that it will be paid for by “rolling back unproductive and unequal tax breaks for real estate investors with incomes over $400,000.”

The only downside is you can only take advantage of your talent in your local markets.....Still you have an advantage...

Spend the majority of your time with people who have more success than you Commit to telling your story and adding value through digital contentLearn something difficult every single dayThe goal should be to acquire talents, not units Pay yourself last, and if possible not at all

Combine that with a second notion which I believe is the growing gravitational force of business and the corresponding talent that comes with those businesses.

My husband is a painting sub, and we have so many friends that do handyman-type stuff and don't really know how to scale because despite being talented craftsmen, they don't have much business sense or knowledge.

Say I'm looking for a job that pays halfway decent money, doesn't require too much convincing people and sales talent, doesn't require having your own car, and not too much education - the low hanging fruits of real estate.

This is the MLS service that has listed property for sale.Look for big construction dumpsters and go and talk to the workers to see what is going on.Take your God given  talents or your girlfriend with you to open the doors!!!

Stanford, UC Berkeley), the talent and research that occurs at these institutions is a strong incentive for these companies to still maintain a presence here. i.e. they have a great talent pool to hire from.

Take that God given talent of your looks and smile and go open some doors!
